What are examples of science lab accommodations for students with disabilities that impact learning and/or attention?

Since each student's accommodation needs are unique and the student is often most knowledgeable about effective accommodations, be sure to talk with the student about what accommodations he/she might need.

Some specific accommodations that might be useful to a student with disabilities that impact learning and/or attention in a science lab include the following:

Provide a lab partner.

Allow extra time for set up and completion of lab work.

Use a combination of written, verbal, and pictorial instructions with scaffolding.
